52 X 38 50 2 30 1500 60 1560 416 400 16 8 1976
52 X 38 50 2 30 1500 60 400 16 8 1900 76 1976
Using some smart thinking and knowing the rules of arithmetic, a bright child might do this-
52 x 38 (50 + 2) x 38 (50 x 38) + (2 x 38) (100 x 19) + 76 1900 + 76 = 1976
A common approach taught in KS2 is to start with the most significant number first.
